All pets are family!
Pet care experience
I grew up with boxers. I’m an experienced dog sitter, walker, feeder, bather and play mate. Nothing beats the unconditional love of an animal. I enjoy getting to know all breeds of dogs and cats and making them feel included and cared for. My family and I love playing games with them that are both mentally and physically stimulating. I am available full time and flexible with scheduling. I have experience in medication administration (including giving injections), wound care, first aid and CPR. My experience caring for bully/brachy dog breeds is extensive and I go above and beyond to accommodate, modify and put safety first for dogs with limitations while still making sure every dog has lots of fun! I am able to take dogs with special needs. I can accommodate homemade and raw diets. I love the outdoors and sharing adventures in nature with my own dogs and visitors. There are no children in my household and services aren’t limited to dogs/cats.
Reviews

Our boxer had a wonderful time staying with Karen for the weekend. She played and returned to us well loved and tired! Thank you Karen!


Luna and Zach love Karen. She is very attentive and affectionate to my fur babies !

Great flexibility

Karen and her family take care of my dog very nicely. My dog even greeted her when we leave her house(as saying , thank you for having me in your house and appreciated your lovely service)That tells me how comfortable he was on his stay with Karen. I definitely recommend her if you want to have a great care for your pet!
